Transfer Students (Non-UH System)

How to Apply

If you are transferring to UH Mānoa or planning to pursue a second bachelor’s degree, then you must follow the general application process for University of Hawai’i at Mānoa admissions. Your general UH Mānoa application will be forwarded to the Shidler College of Business for review as well. Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree in business from UH Mānoa or any other institution will be denied admission to Shidler College of Business.

Complete all additional requirements such as transferring transcripts from any post-secondary institution(s), pay the application fee, etc. Information on the transfer admission process can be found here.

Please keep in mind that all admission requirements must be completed the semester before entering the Shidler College of Business. Students who are still enrolled in pre-business core classes at the time of application will be issued a tentative decision, which will be finalized when final semester grades are posted.

Deadlines

Transfer Credit Equivalencies

Students can check the unofficial transfer credit course equivalencies between their home institution and UH Mānoa. It is recommended that students in the process of transferring plan their schedules in advance to ensure receiving equivalent UH Mānoa credits.

Students may be required to submit a course petition for pre-business core equivalencies. In the event that a petition is required, please retain a copy of your detailed course syllabus for submission. All completed and approved petitions must be received by December 1st for Spring admission and by June 1st for Fall admission.

Students who have received AP, CLEP, or IB credit in the past can submit an official copy of their scores to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for review. UH Mānoa grants waivers and/or credits on the basis of scores received on the CEEB Advanced Placement Examinations. Please note that credits for AP exams do not count toward the 24 credit requirement for admission to UH Mānoa as a transfer student. For a complete list of the courses required for graduation, please refer to Shidler’s curriculum and degree requirements.

Students who have transferred into UH Mānoa from a non-UH system school have a pro-rated Focus requirement based on the number of accepted transfer credits upon admission. (Please refer to Shidler College curriculum and degree requirements.)
